I am still in Chile. The Santa Barbara Independent is publishing my story on their website. Click HERE to read my article on their site and HERE to view a profile of me on the same site. I just submitted an update from yesterdays excursion to a largely destroyed part of the country. I’ll post a link to that later.

As said above and as the images show we drove to Talca yesterday. Talca is close to where the epicenter of the earthquake was and has been largely destroyed. I’ll post a link to the full story in a little bit. Overall I am very ready to get out of here. American Airlines has been ridiculous in giving information. On Tuesday I called and the lady told me that her monitor showed Santiago airport operating normally?!? Do you guys still send information via a roll of papyrus tied to a bird over there at American Airlines?!? Aftershocks persist, actually just felt one a few seconds ago. Some are strong enough to send me to the floor next to my bed and serve a healthy dose of adrenaline. By no means are we struggling physically here in the hotel but the nerves are very raw at this point.

Despite traffic issues due to collapsed or damaged roads and bridges Santiago seems to be operating as usual, but the fear of aftershocks is written on everybody’s face.

Last year my image of my buddies flying son got published in the book Friendship, Family, Friends and Laughter a M.I.L.K. publication. The image is actually on the right sidebar of this blog. Click it and you’ll get linked to the publishers site. Now I received an email from Chronicle Books that the image will also be published in a book called Dear Dad in the next months. Neat. Below is an image of the cover of the book.

Red Bull just published an article with one of my images of Forrest Bailey in it. I was up in Mammoth Lakes last spring for Red Bull covering an event and also did some shots of Forrest and Zach Leach. Here is the link to the article.
